photo shoot at the 40 Mile Point Lighthouse on Lake Huron in Rogers City, Michigan

Have you ever envisioned yourself back in time..... when genteel women wore delicate lace trimmed camisoles, pantaloons, bloomers, petticoats, blouses, bustle skirts, feather trimmed hats and lest we forget, elegant ball gowns. Made in rich velvets, taffetas, satins, cottons and lavishly trimmed in a virtual treasure trove of laces, ruffles and beaded bodices. Recollections makes it possible for your dreams to come true!

Our design staff has dedicated over 29 years creating fine ladies’ garments and it is our hope that we have recaptured a glimmer of a time gone by. In addition to offering a vast collection of styles, they are also available in a medley of over 60 fabrics in a potpourri of hues, prints and textures. All for you.

Recollections’ designs appeal to many enthusiasts: Members of SASS, NCOWS, or those affiliated with a Victorian or Edwardian era activities. Many have sought our designs for Civil War re-enacting, museum exhibits, costuming for the film industry, stage productions, theater performances, horse-drawn carriage tours, photography, clothing for the staff members at historical sites, ball room dancing and many other activities and interests. Perhaps you admire styles known as Gibson Girl, Pioneer, Old West, Soiled Dove, Prairie dresses or Turn of the Century designs. We offer them all.

For those who are just a romantic at heart we offer styles that can be worn in our day to day life, just with the feminine and modest touch often forgotten by the designers of today.

We would like to thank the 40 Mile Point Lighthouse Society for generously providing access to their location for these pictures. This Lighthouse has served as a welcoming beacon to Lake Huron sailors since April 1897, and throughout the remaining Victorian and Edwardian eras.
